Food Styling for Photography

We are pleased to announce our Food Styling for Photography class which will be taught by Cherie Soria and Denise Vivaldo, a seasoned food professional, who has catered more than 10,000 parties for celebrities.

Now you can learn from the experts how to show off your beautifully presented and photographed raw culinary creations on your website, recipe books, and brochures! It is said, “Pictures speak a thousand words” and it’s true—well plated and designed food photos can do more to build your business and showcase your talent than the most well written description of your foods possibly can.

Living Light has created an intensive 2-day workshop that will focus on the art of food styling for the media. Students will learn basic presentation skills, how food reacts under the camera, the ins and outs of propping and preparing for a shoot. This course covers the tricks and techniques for media food, building a portfolio, elements of design for photography, the importance of colors, textures, and negative space.

There will be time during class each day for student questions. Every day features opportunities for students to practice the techniques they are being taught. Students may bring their cameras and go home with photographs of their work.
